Question

I have a web application that I am trying to build and publish. The odd thing is that when I do clean, build or rebuild everything seems fine. When I do a publish though I get the message that the publish failed, but get no further information:

========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ========== 

If in the copy section I select ‘All files in the source project folder’ it works fine, but if I select ‘Only files needed to run this application’ or ‘All project files’ I get the message that it failed, but without any further information.

I am using subversion and if I copy (export) the project and open it outside of source control it does appear to publish correctly. Is there some known interaction with subversion that doesn’t let this occur correctly? Is there a work around to get the ‘Only files needed to run this application’ with subversion?

Thanks for any assistance

Ankh seems to cause some issues. I found that you have to open visual studio, then disable Ankh by going to Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Choose None as the Current source control plugin. Then close visual studio and re-open it. Then publish seems to work…
